"'I'm not perfect, I
do drink. I do smoke. Carson [Carson Daly, her fiance] can't
go out and get messed up, he can't smoke in front of kids
- he's the face of MTV, and he has to be good. But me? I can.
I want to be good; I don't want people to say, 'I smoke 'cause
Tara Reid smokes.' That's not cool. And I am going to quit
smoking, for my health." -- Premiere Magazine (Apr. 2001)
"I just started making
Bloody Marys. I always thought they looked gross, then I tasted
one. There's an art to it, from the Tabasco to the Worcestershire.
You can put all kinds of weird things in to make the perfect
recipe, like horseradish."
"I don't like the typical
good-looking guy. I know this sounds ridiculous, but I like
guys with love handles. When he doesn't care 100 percent about
his body, I don't have to obsess about mine. I hate a washboard
stomach-does not turn me on."
